No, you just misunderstood what OP meant by "this". They meant using portmanteau neologisms, and you thought they meant that specific portmanteau. No need to be nasty about it.

He's not using "computard" but he loves to undermine his credibility by talking about the "Amazon Swindle" and such.

The (alleged) quote about cars being a fad dates to 1901. A similar quote from a banker rejecting investment in Ford Motor Company is from 1903, before the first Model A was produced. I guess we're much farther along in the development

I was about to write that surely, that only applies to the OCR section printed on the physical passport, but if I read ICAO 9303 correctly, it's the other way round - the OCR section can include either a four-digit year or a two-digit

...and that's just one product in one category of one vendor. Not a comparison to the whole vr market that is half the size as that one product . Also, yeah, Apple is kind of niche in computer sales. Maybe not in very affluent parts o

If the $23 billion number is correct it's about 8-12% of the gaming market. Less market share (and less revenue) than 3D TVs had in its heyday (about 12 years ago). Yet you can't even get a new 3D TV today. So just having a big nu

Even the part of the web that is all about documents is much better with JS than without. I enjoy reading articles with pictures I can enlarge. I enjoy having wikilinks that open a little preview of the target article on hover. And it'

I use /r/all but filter out about 100 subreddits to make it work. Unfortunately a lot of them were once great but get now exploited with fake stories or low effort karma farmers.

Verbally smacked down? Yes. But it's absurd to even compare this to the purges in China, Germany and Russia, were people were literally killed to death. Also, while everyone has the right to argue anything, no one has the right to have

Why is it okay to call the game a nonomino or kakuro, when it's entirely unlike either game, but so obscene to call it a sudoku, the rules of which it includes? And it's not called a sudoku, by the way. It's called a sudoku

Still the same problems. Unless you exclude people with older excel versions they can still ruin the file. And if the first person in the chain didn't make the change, who would even notice it? So we're back at requiring extreme v

An opt-out doesn't solve the problem, because one person in the chain of custody if an excel file who hasn't opted out would be enough to destroy the data.

You have the causation exactly backwards. Most of Germany's heavy industry disappeared or went offshore since the 1970s, and that's why we don't produce nearly as much energy. This process predates both the green energy movem

I don't think machine learning was involved there at all. As I understand it, it was an issue of a specifically implemented feature (reusing a single picture of a glyph for all other instances to save space) being turned on in archive-

The only thing is that most users don't know at all, or don't care. If the system doesn't eventually force them to update, they just won't. That's alright in the first order if you just don't care that they wil

"Just do X" is advice that is almost always less than useful. IT departments that use Horizon with instant clones and have several compute clusters with AutoHA, DRS and NZX, a sprinkle of vSAN etc. etc. etc. will take a week just

Or maybe they are just fucking up since their CEO is occupied with other things. Or they face an uphill battle against an opponent that is essentially state-backed. Or it's just very hard to scale up a car manufacturer, even if you wan

Trying to make a point about Afghanistan as an entity across 3000 years is exactly the kind of sillyness these analysis leads to. Yes, there are macros, but the point is that there are hundreds of them, they are all interconnected. If you p

Ah yes, because everything that doesn't solve every problem imaginable is instantly worthless. Sorry for the snark, but I'm getting tired of the pervasive cynicism. The situation got so much better since tpm and fde got commonplac

This isn't really a regex problem though. The regex probably did exactly what the dev intended, it's just that the dev failed to take into account that <author> could also be a 0 length string. The same logic bug would have

Yes. Boeing customers ask for a lot of things and it's Boeing's legal obligation to only provide them safe airplanes, no matter what they ask for.
